    use a 14mm socket and extension to pop the retainer off.

    dont lose the keepers though, two per valve.

    try to get one of these... so much easier to do your seals with one. it'll take you about an hour to replace your valve seals. (using air to keep the valves up)


    this TOOL

    good luck
